From one district of California 3d.
$50 pounds OF raisins were shipped in
1884. The shipments from the same
region we're over a dozen times great
er in 1885, or 1,1o2, 91o pounds; and
it is known that there was a big jump
over these figures in 1886, although,
the exact amount sent out has not
yet been made public. And the inn
provement in quality has been about
as great as in quantity. Boxes OF the
best Spanish and California raisins
were placed side by side at the Chicago
citrus fair, and experts, it is said,
we're unable to tell which was the
Spanish fruit.

Blaine on Irish Affairs.

In a letter to Patrick Ford, chairman OF
the Michael Davitt demonstration, Mr..
Blaine. acknowledging and declining an in
vitation to be present, says:
He tDavitt] can carry with hin the as
surance and evidence that the great mass
OF the American citizens sympathize with
the Irishmen in their struggle to
be relieved from the poverty
which Expresses them, and in their efforts
to secure the protection and the advan-
tage OF local government with strict OBJ
servance OF every national obligation.
The American friends in sympathy with
Ireland speak only for the sacred rights OF
Justice and humanity. We desire MIR.
Davitt to interpret this sentiment to that
most illustrious statesman OF England
our greeting and our blessing: We pray
God that Mr.. Gladstone's life may be
spared till his career shall have been
crowned with the noblest achievement OF
British craftsmanship.
